Pennsylvania to Fall into Line.

Some of the leading Democrats of Penn
sylvania, intend to make an effort to have
the next Democratic State Convention Of
that State adopt tariff plank similar to
that lately adopted by the Democrats of
Ohio OF course they will be opposed by NJ.
Randall and his friends, but they are conf
dent that they can overcome all the
opposition tho Randall faction can offer.
The sentiment in favor of reduction of
the tariff has been growing steadily in
| Pennsylvania for several years, and it is be-
lieved to be strong enough now to insure
declaration in the platform of the Demo
cratic party there favorable to tariff reform.
The workinglnen are beginning to see that
while their material condition does not inn
prove, the great iron and coal companies,
aided by high protective tariff, divide
immense profits
The tariff plank in the platform adopted
by the Virginia Democrats last week does
not meet with much favor from
Democrats outside of that State. At least
ninetenths of the members of the Demo-
cratic party favor a reduction of the tariff
rather than a repeal of the internal revenue
fore, that the Democrats of Virginia should
have taken position on the tariff that is
more in harmony with that of the Repub-
lican party than Of their own.
The more the tariff question is discussed
the more clearly is it seen that the PROPOSE
ton TO make whisky and tobacco free and
to retain the tax on the necessaries of life is
in favor of the rich monopolies and against
the interests of the workingnen. If Vir-
ginia Democrats side with the Republicans
on the tariff question simply because to-
bacco is cultivated in their State, they need
not be surprised if there should be lack of
enthusiasm in their ranks or if they
should be in danger of losing control of the
State.
The tariff is great issue between the
Democratic and Republican parties The
Democrats OF Ohio have just fallen into
line with their party in most of the other
States on this issue, and there is prospect
that Pennsylvania will do the same thing.
1t seems rather strange, therefore, that Vir-
gina should have taken the course ON the
tariff that she has

Canal and Ship Railway Schemes.

A company to build the ship railway
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which
was projected by the late Capt. Eads, was
organized recently, and the announcement
is made that the great undertaking will be-
gin at an early day. 1t is further announced
that no aid will be asked from Congress.
This last announcement is very gratifying,
because if help from Congress were de
pended upon the railway might not be built
very soon.
This appears to be an suspicious time to
boom the ship railway scheme. The Mica
rasua route scheme doesn't appear to be
making any progress, and the French
people are getting tired of put
ting up money for de Lesseps' Panama
canal Indeed, it is not TO be wondered at
that they are beginning to be suspicious of
the success of that enterprise. They have
already invested in it 1854, 000,000 but of
that amount only 500 800, 900 has gone into
the treasury OF the company. The balance
was spent in securing the loans The lowest
estimate of the cost of the work is now
S000, 100000 with chance that the canal
will never be completed The annual in
terest charge will be S54, 100000 which the
canal will have TO earn before any dividends
can be paid. The prospect of the French
men getting their money back is not a very
promising one

Isaac Jabrouski, youthful and innocent ven

"Decs is Won lovely necktic-so cheep," he

exclaimed sharply TO his horse and before the
astonished Isaac could collect his wits, not to

Mr.. Ives Career.

If the story is true that Mr.. Ives, the
young man who has caused so much talk in
Wall street by his connection with the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad deal, has offered
to turn over all his property to his creditors
ii they will pay his debts and give him $780,
900 in cash, it shows that his misfortunes
have not deprived him of any of his monu-
mental cheek. If the reports of his affairs
are correct his assets are much less than his
liabilities. No doubt he would like to get
out of the tangle into which he has got him
self with handsome fortune in his pocket.
The thing that threatens to make him
trouble, however, is the unsatisfactory con-
dition of the treasury of the Cincinnati,
Dayton and Hamilton railroad 1t is al
legged that S3,0O0,000 in stock and money,
that ought to be there, cannot be found
Probably Mr.. Ives can tell what has become
of it. He is certainly expected to do so.
1t is stated that the liabilities of his firm
amount to $12,00O,OO0 Wall street must
have had considerable confidence in him to
have loaned him money TO that extent, not
outstanding the fact that it is claimed that
his reputation for honesty is rather shady
1t is remarkable, to say the least
of it, that men of cheek and
brains, who lack capital, succeed in
gaining the confidence of Wall street.
Ferdinand Ward, who wrecked the Marine
Bank of New York, and who is now in the
panitentiary, is much the same sort Of man
that Ives appears to be. There is no reason
for saying yet that Mr.. Ives career will
end in the same way that Wards did. but
if some of his transactions are not sat
isfactorily explained it would not be at all
surprising if an effort were made to send
him to keep Wards company.
Men like Ives and Ward cause distrust in
business circles. They are schemers whose
aim is to get money without much regard to
the means they employ in getting it.

phere of the section as we could in no other
way. This was proved to me by our trip

maker is doubtless right as to the wisdom of

while he and his associates are cooling off,

remaining unsettled.

often ends In idiOcy, insanity and sud-

appreciate Its horrors. Many physicians
are able TO relieve this disease, and to
canse temporary cessation Of the symp.

UNRIVALLED in the respect that the
cures he effects are THOROUGH AND
PERMANENT. The patient whom DR,
ALBERT has once pronounced thor

themselves, and thousands Of his former
patients throughout the State will bear

THE FRAUD OF 1879,


VIII come up from time to time. Even
the villain perpetrators are troubled In
conscience, or seek to use 1t for more
gain.
Old Madison Wells, Of the noted
Louisiana returning board, wants to
make raise and threatens to reveal.
The old rascal complains he did not get
bis pay, and as he now needs 1t he wants
1t, or he will sue. The substance Of his
story ls that he was promised an office
for bis share In the act that counted
Hayes In, and falling to get that, was
promised half the proceeds Of the Office
from the man who did get 1t. The rss-
cality Of that undertaking descended to
the lowest agents, and the thieves who
stole the Presidency proceeded to de.
fraud each other, so that old Wells, hav-
ing done what John Sherman, Zach.
Chandler and other cOnspiratOrs re-
Quired of him, was cheated out OF his
price. No doubt old Wells could to
a tale that would disturb John
Sherman and others still alive, and ex-
pose matters that would blacken the
memory Of Zach Chandler and others
deceased. Wells could supply details
and confirm points as to persons and
things we'll known, for be 1t remem-
Dersd the leaders In the conspiracy are
we'll known.
This theft of the Presidency is the |
crime of the century, and |
letaiIs should be got as far as possible
,efOre the big and little rascals have all
passed away. One alarming fact should
'ver be remembered, as showing the low
tate OF conscience and morality prevail
Dgi In the ReI ublican party, and that ia,
hat the party everywhere accepted the
esult Of the crime with joy, and the
eaders therein continued to be, and
till are, leaders Of the pretentiOus God
Ind.mOrality party.
